About
The Family Forum: Your Gentle Support System (for Those Not-So-Gentle Days). Parenting is Perfectly Imperfect. Have you ever heard the beautiful words of Gemma Douglas? "I try so hard to be the gentle parent. But I’m not all the time. Because sometimes I’m the impatient parent, the reactive parent, and the struggling parent. Sometimes I’m the anxious parent, the exhausted parent, and the overwhelmed parent. But I’m also the committed parent, the loving parent, and the forever-trying parent." If you’re that “forever-trying” parent, juggling the good, the bad, and the downright chaotic moments of parenting, then you’re in the right place. Welcome to the Family Forum: your on-call support team for all things parenting!
